The Team Behind The Innovation

Trying to meet the needs of a few local restaurants, in 1988 a team of just seven employees worked hard to provide an additional service to our customers by developing easy-to-implement meal solutions that chefs would be proud to serve in their kitchens. Over the years, that group of seven employees has expanded to a team of 83. Combining the efficiency of mechanization and hand cutting skill, our talented Prepared Foods team provides low cost options to local restaurants, food service establishments, and retail stores across the Pacific Northwest.

From day one, quality and consistency have been our bread and butter. It is because of our hard-working people, fresh produce, and ability to adapt to the needs of the customer that we can provide unsurpassed, top-of-the-line products and services. We only use premium, #1 produce because we believe that #2 product just won’t cut it.

We provide our customers with the quality product they need, plain and simple.
